Sisi Berry

Sommelier & Co-owner

Wine Chemist & Sommelier, Sisi Berry, began her journey as a Biology major who found herself in the biochemistry of wine after picking up a job in the wine biz in college. Her love affair with wine was more stemmed (no pun intended) in viticulture and enology as she found a sense of union in the fascinating worlds of earth and science. Connecting nature to man's hands and mind was not just a scientific process, but a rather philosophical one. She went on to take this passion and continue her education in Spain where she worked in several vineyards during harvest season and in the cellars in Penedes, Bierzo, Mallorca, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat. During her time working in Spain, she acheived her Sommelier certification. Upon her return to the States, she was accepted to UC Davis. Sisi is a firm believer in the sharing and healing power of wine. While being one of the most intellectual and romantic of potions, she finds it to be a force of time. Wine is a not just about the drink, but a time capsule inviting you to sit, slow down, and share something.. anything with someone. With that feeling in mind, Sisi began giving wine classes and gathering groups of people that wanted to learn more about wine, and enjoy lovely company. Her goal is to share the wonder and intricacy of wine with others so that they too may feel more often invited to slow down, and simply enjoy.

I have been in the event industry in Austin for 13 years and am always on the hunt for new and exciting vendors. Mi Paella delivers on that! Not only are they incredibly responsive during the planning process, the food is out of this world delicious with fabulous & authentic presentations. They provide such a great experience for guests during the event. Being able to make a corporate event feel like a family event is no easy task and I couldn't say enough how perfect they were for the evening. I am so glad that I found them and will continue to use them for future events, including my own personal ones. :)

I have had Mi Paella come out to my home on two occasions now and they do not disappoint. Their food is FABULOUS and our guests really enjoy getting to see Saul's process of making the paella. Sisi is extremely knowledgeable about wine, which came in handy for us one night when hosting a wine club party. Both Saúl and Sisi are lovely people and we can't wait to have them over again for more amazing Spanish food experiences!

Sisi and Saul delivered on everything promised and more! They are a great team, very attentive and flexible to meet our needs. The entire staff was extremely professional and made the surprise party one to remember for a long time. I highly recommend them!!

Professional

Omg! What a wonderful experience! Saul and Sisi are so good at what they do! They came in and did not interfere with the activities that were going on and started preparations for a most exotic meal! The tapas were exquisite! The paella absolutely excellent! So many of us had never seen paella made. Visiting with Saul about Spain and Sisi about Venezuela was so interesting. All of us at our 19th annual mother/daughter reunion were delighted that we had the MiPaella experience!

Guests were still talking about catering 15 months later!

In 2015, Mi Paella catered a birthday party for my husband. As we gathered this month for the holidays,several of our friends who were guests at that party were still raving at the novelty and menu provided by Mi Paella. They arrived earlier than agreed as it was a 45 min commute from south Austin and frankly, arriving early is better than punctual to me when one is preparing for about 45 people to arrive! The experience was superb for us and our guests! Our best wishes to Mi Paella for a successful New Year!
